    Clarkdale AZ (June 19, 2013) – The “College for Kids” summer program at Yavapai College is offering an exciting course in alternative energy. Titled “Nature’s Power Drive,” the course takes young students from reading about alternative energies to applying them. Students will gain an understanding of such alternative energy resources as wind, solar, tidal, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass using interactive alternative energy land solar labs.

    Moving beyond a basic understanding of alternative energy, students will build their own alternative powered kit models in class. The course culminates with an alternative vehicle race competition among the students. This type of experiential learning helps students understand how alternative energy comes from it source, is changed to electricity and how nature can power and drive every-day mechanical machinery.

    Nature’s Power Drive begins July 9 and runs Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9-11 a.m. through July 25. Students can enroll online at yc.edu/commed or by calling 928-634-6577. Scholarships are available.

    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
